Convert Images & Documents To PDF [Tutorial]

There are numerous reasons why the Adobe PDF format became as popular and widely used as it is today.

Its ability to retain formatting no matter on what computer or device you open it is just as important as the fact that you can easily send it to anyone over the internet without them being able to edit your file. Besides, printing is easy with PDFs as well since the PDF document will look exactly the same printed on paper as it does on your screen (give or take the colors, depending on your screen settings and the quality of your printer and ink).

No, this is not a PDF advertisement, but this should show you that PDF is the format to go for many different things. And with PDF2Go, you can convert almost all of your files to PDF! Find out how!
